Street corn pasta salad

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine

It's getting hot here in California and I can feel summer just around the corner! One of my favorite things about summer has always been the delicious food. Potlucks, bbq, popsicles, and carnival food. We took our favorite Mexican Street Corn Salad and added a couple extra ingredients, bringing your favorite carnival street corn to your next summer potluck! The trick to making this salad taste like "street corn" is roasting your corn. I used a frozen bag of corn for this recipe, but fresh corn off the cob works just the same. You'll want to heat your skillet and oil pretty hot, so the corn gets the burnt brown edges like authentic grilled street corn. I heated my frozen corn up first so this process was a lot faster. It can take a while to go from frozen to roasted. The larger the skillet the better to keep a thin layer of corn. I mixed in chopped cilantro, onion, and jalapeno in this salad. You can add any other vegetables you want, or leave out the jalapeno if you don't like a little kick. I chopped mine up really small, without the seeds, so they mostly just added flavor. The sauce on this salad is a simple four ingredients! Garlic, mayonnaise, chili powder, and fresh lime juice. Light mayo can also be substituted as an alternative to the mayonnaise.
